Doc Ed Ashby had massive back surgery a few days ago and was just released from hospital ... 7.5 hours on the cutting table! According to Ed, it was an outstanding success and without drugs he has less pain already than he had for months before the surgery. Now all he has to worry about is several months of physical therapy and slow tedious recovery, before he's back down in OZ pin-cushioning the scapulas of water buffs for science and improved hunter success and ethics via maximized arrow lethality. Speaking of which, the new issue of TBM is out today on their expanded website,
www.tradbow.com and includes another Ashby article, with good photos, explaining the Tanto tip advantage. Sort of cool to read the magazine online, once you get the hang of flipping and enlarging pages ... and no more long waits for the postman, though I want the print version as well as the electronic. Another cool thing about the new TBM website is that they explicitly are not trying to compete with TradGang, acknowledging that TG does it better than anyone else ever will. Rather, they're merely trying to provide better and broader service to readers and advertisers. But most importantly, Doc Ed is on the mend and WILL hunt again. That's a real Christmas present to us!
